A hack to promote Ethereum causes the YouTube channel of the Spanish wrestling promotion White Wolf Wrestling to be deleted

There have been many reported cases of cases of cryptocurrency events, organizations, exchanges, and others hacking accounts with a certain following to promote themselves. If you have suddenly seen that you were following a channel or user out of nowhere promoting cryptocurrencies that you did not know out of the blue, it is possibly a hack. In this case, a hack to promote cryptocurrencies has targeted a Spanish wrestling promotion, White Wolf Wrestling, and has seen its content removed.

Last Friday, the more than 6.000 subscribers of the White Wolf Wrestling channel saw how suddenly they had in their subscriptions a live broadcast promoting Ethereum, on the occasion of the Merge that will start in a few days. A few hours ago, White Wolf Wrestling released a statement about that incident on social media.

A cryptocurrency hack causes us to lose the history of Spanish wrestling

Last Friday night, the official channel of La Triple W on YouTube suffered a hack. All our content was hidden and the channel was used to promote illicit activities with cryptocurrencies, being used as a platform for a direct that brought together thousands of people, as well as to host videos related to this fraud.

On Saturday morning we started trying to repair the damage and asked YouTube for help in identifying the source of the attack, as well as requesting the withdrawal of the strike we received as a result of the incident.

A few hours ago, we received a response from YouTube, which for the moment has decided to remove our channel from its platform.

We are trying to contact YouTube to try to clarify what happened and to be able to recover those more than twelve years of content, and we hope that it can be resolved quickly and to the satisfaction of everyone.

Statement from Triple W (White Wolf Wrestling)

This hack has made the dozens of fighters who have passed through the rings of White Wolf Wrestling, have seen their portfolio reduced in the face of future hiring. The channel was a way to show that they had fought for legitimate promotions, and their skills.

A story born from the channel of this promotion is that several months after an A-Kid match against Zack Saber Jr, the Voices of Wrestling portal and specialized reporter Dave Meltzer praised this match. He gave the match a five-star rating. This feat made the A-Kid name more internationally recognized, and today it is known as Axiom in the WWE.
